Recipe Note
Health Benefits of Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition, offering numerous health benefits:
Rich in Nutrients: A 1-ounce (28-gram) serving provides approximately 138 calories, 4.7 grams of protein, 8.7 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrates, and 9.8 grams of fiber.
High in Fiber: With nearly 10 grams of fiber per ounce, chia seeds support digestive health and can help maintain regular bowel movements.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: They are an excellent plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which supports heart and brain health.
Antioxidant Properties: Chia seeds are rich in antioxidants, which help combat free radicals in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Tips and Variations
Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your taste preferences.
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free.
Layering: For a more authentic tiramisu experience, layer the chia pudding with additional Greek yogurt or a mixture of Greek yogurt and a touch of vanilla extract.
